Studio Standards & Etiquette (Effective 8/19/20)
Disinfection Procedures
Medical-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants which are designated effective against the COVID-19 virus with a kill time of less than one minute will be used for all continuous and deep-cleaning processes. This will be used to fully disinfect lobby, studio, and group fitness equipment between use.
Modified Studio Hours & Equipment
We will be adjusting group fitness schedule to allow for thorough cleaning and disinfecting in-between classes. We will allow 30-60 minutes between group fitness classes for disinfecting the studio and all equipment.
Hand Sanitizers
Members will be asked to use hand sanitizer when entering the studio and frequently throughout their visit. The hand sanitizer solution kills up to 99.9% of germs and includes 67% ethyl alcohol, above and beyond the CDC’s guidelines of 60%, with added Aloe vera and essential oils. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the studio.

We will keep occupancy under 33% of maximum capacity at all times.
Signage and Floor Markers
So members can give each other enough space, physical distancing stickers will be marked throughout the the studio. Physical distancing signs will show each member where to set up for group fitness classes ensuring 6 ft. distance between personal, unless safety or core function of the work activity requires a shorter distance. Any time personnel are less than 6 ft. apart from one another, personnel must wear acceptable face coverings.

Our team members will be provided with face masks, which will be required to be worn in the studio at all times. Members must wear a mask when entering the studio, when within 6 feet of others, and in all common areas, including lobby, studio, Pilates studio, and restroom area.
It is recommended, but not required that members wear gloves during their visit.
